I give France credit for not surrendering at halftime.

And it's not like France is the worst football team in the world -- they beat Australia 53-3, and Australia had previously beat South Korea 47-6.

No word yet on the South Korea / Morocco matchup

 

[jon_mx]

I am putting a few racks down on the US against South Korea (+99).

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I'd like to see the other games.

 

[SWC]

i think these el frencho brohans would lose to a high level high school womens team take that to the bank

 

[Parrothead]

they couldn't think of anything better than a big "F" for the helmet?? How about the Eiffel Tower or a wine bottle??

 

[Kal El]

It's good to see the game going international, but it should be a while before anyone can seriously challenge the US.

 

[Parrothead]

these are ex-college players not drafted by NFL or CFL.. imagine what a "dream team" of NFL players would do

Pretty sure something like that goes against the Geneva Convention or something.

The French should have known better than using the "Maginot Line" for football.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I'd rather have fries than that.

I'm battling a bulge right now from all this patriotism.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I do like that they are holding this in Canton OH, where football started.

Here are the results:

Some surprises here:

- Brazil beat Kora 28-0. I would have guessed that would have been a wipeout.

- Australia beat Brazil 16-8 - I guess Australia should be a power in this, with their rugby and Aussie Rules history. But they got beat by France 53-3. That makes no sense.

- The USA actually just beat Japan 43-18, that's not what I would have figured, maybe the Americans were just getting warmed up.

White flag?

 

[mquinnjr]

Can only hope the Annexation of Puerto Rico is a staple in the US team's playbook.

 

[El Floppo]

Had some friends play "pro" football and baseball in France (and other countries) years ago. These weren't even college-level players.

I hope somebody's mentioned the French being a bunch of quitters.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I'd say that score is a victory for France, even knowing that the Americans showed some sportsmanship and just tried to run out the clock in the second half.

White flag?

the us should put a statue of liberty on their helmet and then run the statue of liberty on every play and you can take that to the freedom bank bromigo

I like the batman-style graphics after touchdowns and field goals.

PS - SUCK IT FRANCE!!!!!!!!!!

Japan won the first two editions of this Championship (the USA did not participate). I assume that the other countries probably requested there to be some sort of USA team so they could have a measuring stick for their own progress at football.

Could the FFA put together a team that could beat France? I think it could.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I remember a couple years ago there was a Japanese WR trying to make the Eagles (I think).

Hell yah, don't you remember the post about how many yards you would average in the NFL at RB? We have at least 3-4 10 ypc rbs in the FFA. And the fact these countries are getting stomped by a team of guys who arn't good enough for the NFL. We'd be fine.

they were going to play with berets but officials denied their request.

I forget the thread, but who said they could fight and beat anyone on the board? Nominating that poster for the D-Line.

Football's pretty big in Japan, oddly enough, but their players still have a ways to go.

Does the French team stop whistling at the cheerleaders long enough to even get a play off? #UpdatedFrenchJokes

For some reason I imagine the Greeks being even worse at football than the French. I imagine they all want to become involved in the Quarterback and Center exchange.

Not nearly surly enough.

The "F" on the helmet is actually a Falcon.
